| Additional information |
Bremen's Schwaren was a copper fraction so low in value that striking patterns in silver served purely as presentation pieces — likely intended for city officials or visiting dignitaries rather than any serious proposal to change the circulating alloy. The KM#Pn31 designation covers a span of dates across the 1780s and 1790s, suggesting these were produced on more than one occasion, possibly as gifts tied to civic ceremonies.
Bremen retained its status as a Free Imperial City through this entire period, giving its mint unusual independence in authorizing such vanity strikes.
